Are you ready for upcoming changes to data protection law?
From 19 June 2026, data controllers will be required to have a complaints procedure in place, encouraging individuals to raise concerns directly before approaching the ICO.

As Sarah Liddiard notes, this may simply involve updating existing processes, but it’s important not to overlook this requirement.

If you need support reviewing policies, or have wider data protection concerns affecting your business speak to our team.

This week marked , a national campaign raising awareness and encouraging action to support people living with dementia and their families.

At Debenhams Ottaway, we’re proud that members of our team are trained Dementia Friends, helping us better understand the challenges dementia can bring and how small changes to the way we work, can make a meaningful difference.

Our commitment to support extends far beyond this one week. As trusted legal advisers who guide clients and families throughout every stage of life, we prioritise empathy, understanding, and awareness in all that we do. Dementia Action Week serves as a reminder of our ongoing dedication to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment year-round.

To further champion this cause, Court of Protection specialist Lucy Hollands has addressed some of the most frequently asked questions about the Court of Protection and the support we offer to vulnerable individuals, including those affected by dementia.

The arrival of spring is the perfect reminder to get your personal affairs in order. Making or updating your Will ensures your wishes are protected and putting LPAs in place mean the people you trust can act for you when you aren’t able to.

This is just one step of our legal spring clean checklist to help you get things done and feel accomplished.

This week is – a valuable reminder to pause, check in with ourselves and those around us and recognise that our mental health matters every day.
Thanks to our fantastic Social Impact Team, we’re marking the week with the launch of our ‘grow your own’ sunflower competition for colleagues across our St Albans and Radlett offices. 🌻

Like our physical health, mental health is something we need to invest in continuously, and often it’s the small, simple actions that can make the biggest difference. And much like growing a sunflower, it’s a reminder that with consistency, care and patience, positive growth will follow – whether in the garden or in our own wellbeing.

Stay tuned for updates over the coming weeks as the sunflower competition blooms. ☀️

Our End of Financial year celebration brought together all teams across both offices to reflect on the past year, celebrate our achievements, and recognise the collective effort behind them.
It was an important moment to pause, look back at what we’ve delivered as one team, and look ahead with confidence to what’s next.

Days like this remind us that our success is built on collaboration, commitment and shared ambition.

We’re always looking for great people to join us – take a look at our current opportunities:
